Infotalk and discussion: Live now for free! But only if you squat

Join us on Thursday, April 9, 7-9pm for a discussion of squatting as a technique, as a politics and as a lifestyle, and a brief history of the squatting movement in the UK, with squatter-historian, Rowan Tallis Milligan.

We are in occupation! Squatters have occupied the Aylesbury Estate in London in a protest against gentrification and in support of genuinely affordable housing (read more about this here). For many people squatting is the perfect solution to the housing crisis- offering autonomy, freedom from rent and a chance at a self-determined way of living. Squatting can also be considered a domain for resistance to capitalism and social hegemony.

We wondered where our wages went,We wasted most by paying rent,Since, we’ve learned to change our lot,So now we’re living in a squat.
